Mrs. NJ. Walker, of this city, on Satur,
day received teiegraphic news of the
death OF her brother, Donald MePher'
son, at his home in Cross Village,
Michigan, on Friday last. The deceased
has three nephews in this city. Ralph
M. and Harold Ward and Ward Mo
| Pherson.
Sidney K. Grimwood, aged two years
and two months,son of Mr.. and Mrs. Oh.
Grimwood died at six o'clock last even
ing at the Nj. GFimwood's home in this
city. The child has suffered for q
week past with sickness originating in
commissions. The funeral services occur
tomorrow at II O'Clock q. m.
Rev. Mr.. Stebbins, of Aten, Nebraska,
was in the city to-day, and he says the
ice bridge across the Missouri is still In
good repair, but that the water on top
the ice reminds him that ice is nothing
| bat water solicited snd that he does
not care to risk a team and wagon on it.
Teams are crossing o.day, but the q u
tious Nebraskaians come over afoot.
The Yankton Freie Presse, in q para
graph relative to the death of A. q.
Kruse's child by freezing, states that the
Press and Dakotsian charged that Mr..
Kruse was the cause of the child's death
1t would be becoming in the Freie Presse
to correct this statement, as it is a gross
| error as it now stands. The Press and
Dakotalan has made no such intimation.
The heavy wind from the south which
held forth Saturday night filled up a
cut on the Northwestern track between
Beresford and Hawarden and the pas
senger train which leaves Yankton at
eight O'Clock a. m. was compelled to 60
east from Centraville as q work train
and clear the track. The train did not
return to Yankton until seven O'Clock
last evening.
A prairie schooner which passed
through the city to-day, bore a striking
resemblance to a birds nest filled with
young birds. The father OF the family
stopped on Broadway and purchased
some crackers for dinner, and when he
opened the door of the wagon house q
half dozen small hands were thrust out
and the crackers disappeared amid a gen.
eral howl for more. The schooner vas
bound for the Black Hills country.
Further evidence of the fact that the
Milwaukee railway company's machine
shops are not to be removed from Yank-
ton was given in an order which went
out from headquarters on Saturday last
ordering o new sixty horse power station
airy engine to be placed in the present
shops. This engine is large enough to
drive the machinery in the new shops to
be built here in the spring. The Mil
waukee depot at this time next year will
occupy ground in the neighborhood OF
the Northwestern depot.
The weather record since Saturday
has been q varied one. Saturday night
brought a gale from the south ana
Sundays sunshine turned much of the
snow and ice into water. This forenoon
the thaw took q slight cold, the wind
shifting from the south to the north.
The sun is slowly climbing to a position
from which it can loosen the grip OF
winter. Soon the everlasting hills will
shake off their toboggan slides and put
forth their violets and s~uoculent young
p%ssturage. There will then be less fun
on their slopes, but more feed for the
COWS.
